MU Global Manufacturing Practice invites to their webinar on 24th September at 1pm-2pm CET via MS Teams together with Ben Selby, CFO and Deputy CEO of Spinnova.
How a new entrant to an industry can leverage partnerships with established partners in different parts of the value chain (industrial machinery manufacture, apparel brands, textile manufacturing supply chain), understanding motivations and economics across the value chain and creating an end market for the technology purchaser by partnering with global apparel brands. And how the initial growth strategy needed to pivot based on external circumstances.
In this online event, Ben Selby, CFO and Deputy CEO of Spinnova, will share insights and how the Spinnova is mastering the sustainable transformation of an established industry through tech innovation.
